Programming the Remote

(for STR-DE705/STR-D650Z and Canadian

STR-DE605 only)

The RM-P362 remote included with the STR-DE705
and STR-D650Z can control non-Sony components by
“learning” the control signals from their remotes. Once
this remote learns the other components signals, you
can use these components as part of your system.
Additionally, if you have any Sony components that
fail to operate with this remote, use this programming
function. This remote can “learn” signals only from
other infrared wireless remotes. Before you program
signals, make sure that the two remotes:
• Face straight at each other (see Step 3 below)
• Are placed at a distance of about 2 inches (5 cm)
• Are not moved during programming
1Press the SYSTEM CONTROL/FUNCTION
button of the component you want to program.
For example, if you want to program a CD
player’s remote, press CD.
2Press LEARN to turn on the LEARN indicator.
3Press the button on this unit’s remote that is to
“learn” the signal from the other remote.
The LEARN indicator flashes slowly.
Use only the shaded buttons shown above (see
“Remote Button Descriptions” on page 27 for the
buttons you can use to operate each component).
If the LEARN indicator flashes rapidly
You cannot use the button you’ve pressed.
4On the other remote, select the function that the
receiver’s remote is to “learn” and hold down its
button until the LEARN indicator lights steadily.
5Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to program other buttons.
Note that each button can only “learn” one signal
from another remote.
6Press LEARN.
After the LEARN indicator turns off, you can
control the other component with the
programmed buttons.
When you program the recording signal
While holding down the r button on the receiver’s
remote and press the record button on the other remote.
If you cannot successfully program signals, check the
following:
• If the LEARN indicator does not light up at all, the
batteries are weak. Replace both batteries.
• If the LEARN indicator does not flash or light up in
Step 3 or 4, there is interference. Clear the signal as
described in “Clearing the programmed signal”
below and program again from the beginning.
• The two remotes are placed too far apart. Make sure
they are only 2 inches apart.
• If you don’t proceed to the following steps within
about 1 minute during Steps 2 and 3, the remote
automatically exits learning mode. Start again from
Step 2.
• If the memory in the remote has become full, (If you
program signals of Sony components, you can store
about 60 signals.) you can program a new signal on a
previously programmed button, but the new signal
will replace the previously programmed one.
Notes
• You cannot turn on programmed components by pressing
a SYSTEM CONTROL/FUNCTION button. You have to
turn on the component's power switch.
• Do not program remote signals of air conditioners or other
household appliances.

Clearing the programmed signal

To clear the programmed signals, do the following.
The button’s functions are reset to the factory-preset.
1Press LEARN to turn on the LEARN indicator.
2While holding down BACKGROUND, hold down
the button to be cleared until the LEARN
indicator turns off.
